One of my T.A.s (Alan Weiss) at NYU (this was in 1984 or so) told of "the old days" when he had use of a computer with a bank of six tape drives for memory(!). When he got cold, he would write a program to access weird memory locations, causing the tapedrives to whip back and forth, warming things up. When the machine is finally removed, the temperature of the rrom dropped 10 degrees! -- Andy Nguyen / Team Paranoid (212) 267-7722 ...!uunet!tivoli!aqn OR aqn@tivoli.com
